This was the best game when it came out, and is still one of the best | | Cody from Liberty City, USA says (29/Sep/2002): | What can I say about this game? It's pretty perfect, if you don't mind killing a bunch of innocent(or at least at the time) pedestrians. You get to drive around in cool cars, pack some serious heat, and rub elbows with the organized crime. The graphics are amazing, and it has a great storyline you can follow. You go around taking jobs from all the big names in the game, traveling across three huge, detailed cities to do it. If you're fast enough to evade local law, you can try a killing spree to get rid of all of those pent up feelings inside. Why not entertain the whole family by picking up a hooker or listening to one of the many hilarious radio stations you can pick up. If you got the code, or are suicidal, you could try to get a tank and have even more fun, if the arsenal you carry doesn't settle your thirst for blood. You can even find a plane in the last city, even though it won't fly that high or that long with clipped wings. If you are really stuck at a job, dodging the fuzz, and putting people under, why not find the 100 hidden packages scattered across Liberty City to pick up new weapons at your hideout? Or steal a cop car, taxi, ambulance, or even a firetruck to try and repair the damage you've done here by helping some people, maybe even running over citizens on the sidewalk while helping that one guy. There's so much stuff to do that you might not ever get bored. You could just go about collecting the best cars and hiding them in the garages in your hideouts for safekeeping, or the big garages in the cities where you can park a dozen or so cars to get whenever you want(refering to import-export garages and that huge crane at Portland Harbor). In short, if you want to do some dirty killings with the mobs of the city and do drive-bys with the local gangstas and pick up the hoes and do some car-jackings on the side then you'll love this game.
| THE BEST GAME BY PS2 GTA 3 | | Douglas Wheeler from England London says (26/Sep/2002): | GTA3 is the best game ever brung out by PS2 you can kill people on it you can drive fast cars on it fly on it with the dodo you have 3 islands in liberty cite Portland, stauton island, Shortside vale, you can do missions on it which is pretty good first in portland then stauton island then shortside vale you can get the train round portland or the tube (thats when you have you have done all the misions) the tube go's all around the liberty you have got a airport on the3rd island and in you car can liston to 8 radio stations i liston to chatter box or lips or head or flashback there is also cheats for GTA3.
| GTA3:God=you. | | Akira from Fredrikstad,Norway says (12/Sep/2002): | This is the game that made "GOD" cry.He saw the game and he said "It`s the best game i have ever seen". The game has a story,but you don`t have to follow it. In this game you can do whatever you like. Shoot some people with the sniper and see the blood come, hit a guy with a bat and while he`s on the ground hit him again. Steal a car, get the cops after you,get the FBI after you,get the army after you. This is a game you have to have. BUY IT!!!"Words simply cannot do justice"
| best game ever THANK YOU PS2 PEOPLE | | Zac from concord New Hampshire USA says (11/Sep/2002): | This game is the best. I cant believe they could come out with such a great game. I dream about it for God sakes. It is action packed wether you have cheats or not. I am now in seventh grade and after school i play non stop till i have to go to bed. This game keeps me having fun, keeps me sane and keeps me from making trouble. If i had to go a long period of time without playing i might do something drastic. I would never kill myself but I would get a little crazy. I love the thrill of all the chaos in Liberty city. Especially when the cops are after you, because you can use special techniques to have them kill themselves. The cheat with the 'wanted level up or down' is really cool cause you can mess with them either way. I also have the game 'crazy Taxi and Test Drive' but they dont come close to GTA3. I want to get 'Vice City' its the next expansion, I cant wait, 'Vice city should come out in late Fall. I hope GTA3 satifies me till then, wait I know it'll satisfie me till then. Maybe theyll make an expansion evry year.
| WOW | | Jake from Preston UK says (8/Sep/2002): | this game is the best so far and obviously u wud expect it tu be better than the crappy birds eye ps1 version. the Ps2 has got a good game wiv good graphics and is as real to life as possible (without it getting sick) the only problem with it is that the uzi money mission on the third island is a bug and requires u tu restart the game again and some times the road disapears and the hospital is just fog but apart from that an alround great game
| I don't Know | | dumb ass mother fucker says (6/Sep/2002): | this game is fun like i really suck at it but i like to just kill people specially the gay fagits who say "call the Y M C A"
| Best PS2 Game Yet! | | A gamer from Michigan, USA says (11/Aug/2002): | I loved this game! It was great! It had awesome graphics, and real life people! I loved the things the characters say, Like "He aint no gentlemen that one!" This was my first gta game, and I still havent fully beat it yet!! Although this game is great, I wouldn't reccomend it for kids under 13 because of the violence, themes, and profanity!
| Best game ever on Playstation 1 or 2 | | David from Dublin ,Ireland says (7/Aug/2002): | GTA3 is a major improvement on Versions 1 and 2 as it includes first person views and ground level views as well as the standard overhead view.
You can choose to do the Missions or instead you can just take your chances and attack the poor innocent civilians and the police officers who try and arrest you.
There is so much to this game : You can drive a car through the three islands, you can hijack an ambulance,police car or fire engine and get involved in a bit of role playing !
All in all, this game works on so many levels.I purchased the game in February 2002 and literally didn't complete it until July 2002.I am still playing it and finding out the cheats available.
I cant wait for the arrival of GTA : Vice City in a few months time either !
| WOW | | Zach from Vincent, Ohio says (6/Aug/2002): | The game is the best combination of skills that exists. You can drive/race, perform mind blowing stunts in a car, kill people (with fist, gun, car, etc.), have sex and the list continues. The graphic quality lacks a bit but it was one of the 1st games on PS2. The sound quality is just as good as any. It has incomparable game play. It can be played through many times and the end result can still vary. Very original, there are some imitations but they just don't compare. The difficulty level is enough to keep you interested but not so hard that it is frustrating to play. Excluding the last mission. I have been playing it for 2 weeks now and cannot succeed. Please e-mail me if you have any strategies on beating the last mission.
| Best Game Since Your Mom! | | dont look at ME, I didnt make you ugly. from Your Mom's House says (30/Jul/2002): | For those of you who hate GTA3, nobody likes you. Yes, you were an unwanted child, your mom told me so.
Story: Leave it to Rockstar to come up with a simple, realistic, and brilliant story for this game. 'Nuff said.
Graphics: As good as it gets.
Gameplay: You'll be playing this game in your coffin. It has infinite replay value!
Audio: The radio is awesome! Chatterbox is my favorite! It's hilarious! Plus the Double Cleff is good for a killing spree.
Buy or Rent: Buy! Buy, or Reed Tucker will come down there and kick your a$$ with his "Dragon Stance."
| Buckle up Nizzle Dizzle!!!!!!! | | Alex from NH USA says (21/Jul/2002): | GTA3 This game is so awesome my license plate is GTA3. Yup! Its just that good. Three cities with so much to do. Gta3 is a vacuum for weekends when you first get the game. Trying to beat all the missions is a task on its own. Cheat if you may....but might i suggest only using the cop cheat and the weapon cheat....all others can wait till you atleast beat the game once. I play this game alot at night to release frustration. There is nothing I like more than causing mayhem in the cities. The game has great graphics, game content, and longvity. This game should not be found on Ebay.com. If you are selling it on there you are a fool and will regret it later. GTA3 is one game you keep for life. Rent it if you dont beleive me..... I guarentee you will be an owner.
| Grand Theft Auto is SUPERB | | James Johnson from Washington, U.S.A says (12/Jul/2002): | GTA3 has good graphics, but not great, the sound is good but nothung special. But that doesn't matter, because this game has the best gameplay and the longest lifespan out of all the games I've played. There're the important points that make a good game. Gameplay and Lifespan. And GTA3 rules in both respects. I just hope they make a sequel soon, but with more character and environment interactions.
| If you think this game is bad or has no replayability you have serious problems | | John from Minneapolis, USA says (11/Jul/2002): | This is the greatest game ever made. No doubt nothing even comes close to it. The game has hundreds and hundreds of hours of playability in it and just the sheer thought of going around killing people and stealing cars and picking up some white trash girls and getting a little someting something is just a great idea. This game has it's own genre, and i am hoping for more. This is the kind of game that will evolve games that will basically give you a city and you do whatever you want to do. Be a drug dealer, a hit man, a mafia boss, the gang leader and so on. This game is probally the biggest games ever to be made. After beating the game i still go back and play the whole game over again because it is just so much fun. i owned and played GTA and GTA 2 and this beats them without question. Since Playstation 2 will soon be getting an online adapter i feel kiddy that the next GTA will be implementing some kind of multiplayer in the future. When (and i no doubtingly think there wont be) GTA4 comes out with the online play attached it will break another milestone. THis game is the greatest game ever made and a huge revulutionary step in the progress of crime in games.
| GTA3 rocks. | | A gamer from Westlake, Ohio United States says (30/Jun/2002): | Grand theft auto is so original. The bombing, shooting, car driving maniac is you and you can do practically whatever you like. The graphics are perfect. Gangs try to kill you, in missions you try to kill them. And you can fly a plane, that is way out there amazing.
| Kill or be killed | | Jesse from Texas, USA says (27/Jun/2002): | Rockstar has done it again, this time with the most explosive controversy game ever! Grand Theft Auto III, what a game! To kill the cops, to kill old ladies, to just kill anyone who gets in your way, is a serial killer's dream come true. Of course in real life if your caught that's the end, but in the gaming world you can do all this and more. First of all, graphics are amazing with very little pausing, to the cars and the people...and the PS2 hardware can take all the people, cars, fights, explosions (what a great system). The sound is great, especially if you have a surround sound system, exceptional! The replay value is great! I mean, yeah you finish the game 100% and your god, but you can always go back kill, maim, kill, torture, and just kill some more. The game isn't so story based, well in other words, you can do all other sorts of stuff instead of the main mission, and that has a fun factor to it. I have seen and heard different aspects of this game, from it sucks because you can't go in buildings, to the moral of the game. First of all, the building thing, well besides that you can do just about everything you want, anything you want. Second on the morale, people we live in a real life Liberty City, that is our life, maybe not to the extreme of killing everyone in sight, but that is life and that is why Rockstar has a rating of M for MATURE, if you are too sensitive to violence, killing, and disorderly conduct...don't rent or purchase the game, easy as that! Other than that, Grand Theft Auto III is a killer game, with killer graphics and sound. You need to have the killer instinct to play this game, and "boys and girls, that is one thing I am good at"...Sweet Tooth...Twisted Metal Black! Rockstar, no matter what, will always have Grand Theft Auto III in their name, and PS2 would always have been the hardware to represent it. Hell yeah!
| The best ever | | A gamer from Hong Kong, Asia, China says (21/Jun/2002): | these 3D graphics are terrific! they've got the cool and hard missions that makes it so challengins! I'd say that if you want a game you'd better buy this one! you could use guns and everything finsihing citizens off easily and killing around if you ever want a game always buy this one so I would rate this 10
| awesome game | | Matthew from asia,Earth,Universe,china,hong kong says (21/Jun/2002): | Those vehicles are so cool you can expecially drive and just hit everything in your way with a super cool and tank and get yourself in 4 star! and if the helicopter comes you use the rocket launcher and blast it off! this exciting new game ought to be the best ever! Its awesome missions reveals its actual bloody criminaland also the graphics are 3D and are much nicer than gta 2 and 1 (of couse)with all the graphics. you can find yourself just dying and playing again and again. you totally get so absorbed in the game you forget about everything else and finish most the missions and play all day skipping all your lessons! now folks! this game is so good with awesome missions vehicles graphics can be named one of the best games i ever saw!
| too cool | | konar from Augusta(GA)U.S.A says (8/Jun/2002): | This game is way cool.if you're the type that like to go crazy out on the road this is the game for YOU. yeah! N-E wayz the graphics are totaly brillant , for sounds---when ever you run over a person with a car they make sqweesh sounds and there is a radio on your car there are alot of mission too you work for the mafia ,triads, yardees ECT... on top of that there are over 100 cars you can jack and there alot more things about this game.
| A better game that GTA 3? | | Ry-Daaawg from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Earth, the Universe, etc says (8/Jun/2002): | All my life, I have been saying to myself, "You know, I would love to just sit back, kick off my shoes, and play a nice little video game that satisfies my fuel-driven, whore-pickin'up, ganster-style bloodlust." Apparently, the good folks at Rockstar got all my letters, because GTA 3 is it. I have the PC version, and while I despise posting reviews on website boards that are more than likely patronized by 12-year-olds, high-school dropouts, and the unemployable, I had to vent my overwhelming joy somewhere, and my girlfriend is sick of hearing about it. This game makes the best use of an Nvidia G-Force card I have seen yet. Running on an Athlon 1.2 and an Nvidia G-force 2 MX 400 (around the same as an X-box...maybe a couple steps higher), there is no lagging, no stops, and there are very few glitches. In a side-by-side with PS2, I have to say that the PC version, while maybe just a hair less smooth, is the superios version, with crisper graphics, faster load time, and (with a Logitech Wingman Rumblepad) a better control interface. (The Wingman just has more buttons). However, with all the technical stats being what they are, they pale in comparison to the storyline. So often, I (and I'm sure you have, too) have plunked down upwards of $80 of the rent money to buy a game because the graphics looked cool, only to get home and be sorrowfully disappointed by the dismal storyline, with voice acting that seems to come straight out of a high-school play. But it is obvious that Rockstar must have sold a copy or two of their previous games, because they now have the budget to hire some kickass writers, and the actors to go with it. Joe pantoliano? Michael Madsen? Hell, I'd have bought this game if it were the graphical equivalent of Pong! How often do yuo get to play along with the guys from Reservoir Dogs and the Matrix? In fact, I think I only have 2 complaints, and they are so minor that they do not deter me from the 10 rating I gave it: 1) All the characters look like they're wearing mittens (except when you give the finger to some smartmouth as you steal their car), and 2) The damage engine. Ya, OK, the cars get damaged, which is pretty sweet, but I don't think your hood would get completely dented and warped from driving into a rubber pylon at 3 MPH. But these things are so minor, and the damage quip is pointless as the cars getting smashed up is integral to the gameplay, that GTA 3 still earns a place with Max Payne, Jedi Outcast, Unreal Tournament, and Spider Man-The Movie as one of my top 5 best games ever made, if not THE best. (Granted, I still have to try Medal of Honour: Allied assault, but for now, that's my list.) Just keep the kiddies away from it.
| GTA3 is definitly what gamers wanted for years | | Dom from USA says (5/Jun/2002): | GTA3 is not only my favorite game of all time, Its the GREATEST game of all time. When you first play GTA3 you are going to go on a ride that you have never been on before. Graphics: The graphics in this game are great. The characters and cars look and move great and when the car gets damage too. The lighting effect were done very, very good. The three cities are enormous, different and full of life. The weather and days change from Rain, fog,sunny and dark. Sound: The sound effects and voice acting is the one of the best in any game I have ever played. First off the voice acting was done the best in any game their was. Their voiced by some of the biggest names in Mafia films and some of pop culture's most distinct voices like Joey Pantoliano, Frank Vincent, Micheal Madsen, Micheal Rapaport and Guru. Their are 9 differnt radio stations. You can switch to anyone you want at any time by pressing L1. They were done really well. The people on the streets are lively and they talk to each other. They scream and yell if they witness a death. The cars sound good and when they explode. The sound effects were done really good. Gameplay: This game is one of the funnest and violent games that you will ever play in your whole life. The levels are all different and are balenced out very nicely. The controls were done nicely. Its easy to walk around and drive to places. Their are so many other things you can do in this game that I havn't mentioned. If I told you It would take me a week. This game is unbelievable. Value: This game will be one of the longest game you have ever played if you are a true hardcore gamer that likes to beat games 100%. I bought this game when it first came out and I havn't even beaten the game half way. I play it for like 10 hours everyday and I havn't beaten it 50%. But the other reason why its taking me a long time to beat the game is because instead of playin the game by doing its mission, I like to have fun instead, if you know what I mean. Their are alot of differnt side missions and other goodies in this game. Rockstar and DMA packed everything into GTA3. You can really tell that they took their time and did'nt rush. Tilt: GTA3 will last you a lifetime. This game is packed with action and mayham, its great. There has never been a game like this before. The only game that could ever beat this game is Grand Theft Auto 4. Just pray that they make it. And one last thing, THIS GAME IS NOT FOR EVERYONE, especially for little kids.
